By creating this certificate, current and new students will be able to supplement their current experience with specific courses relating to human health, nutrition, and community nutrition. A certificate is ideal to improve student resume's and experience. Many students want to supplement related disciplines (biology, education, chemistry, agriculture, etc.) to be able to focus their training and interests. In addition, non-traditional students will seek to improve their current training and professional development through this certificate program. In addition, this will help KSU's overall graduation rate and student enrollment.
